A NARROW ESCAPE.

Providence and n Bucket InterpOses to
Save the Steamship Propitious from De.
struction-The Captain Swept Overheard.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug. 23.-The British
steamship Propitious, from Carthagena,

a captain, that officer having been lost on
the voyage. The chief officer reports that
on Saturday at seven O'Clock, sixty miles
off Cape Henry, the Propitious encoun-
tered terrific gale which lasted until
three O'Clock in the afternoon. 1t swept
every thing before it. Some falling stan
chions knocked circular hole
in the deck through which the
water poured into the hold. As if
sent by kind Providence, large, heavy
galvanized iron bucket was torn from its
fastenings aft and was swept up to the
hole, into which it fitted as snugly as
though specially made for the purpose.
This alone prevented the water from filling
and sinking the ship. In the meantime
Captain Nichols was swept overheard and
lost The planking of the deck is badly
sprung. The first officer was quite badly
inj ured about the knees by falling spars.

WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. N.-Yester-
day, the last day Of the eleventh reunion
Of the society Of the Army OF West vn-
ginia, was the greatest ever known IN the
State. The reunion was grand success.
Fully twenty thousand visitors were In the
city yesterday, and they all crowded INTO
the principal streets and made it very
difficult to get about The city never was
SO beautifully decorated, it being general
The parade, headed by carriages contain
ing ex-President Hayes, General Beaver OF
Pennsylvania, Governor Foraker of Ohio,
Governor Wilson of West Virginia,
General B. +. Kelly, and many other dis
tinguished visitors, followed by the Grand
Army Of the Republic, consisting OF
about FIVE thousand members and
and about q dozen brass bands was O
grand affair, and every thing passed on
smoothly until the procession reached the
Register office (Democratic) on Market
street, where q crayon portrait OF the
President on q banner was floating gaily
across the street with the inscription
"God Bless Our President, Grover Cleve-
land, COMMANDMENT Chief of Our Army

to either side Of the street. This incident
